Not sure how many blades. We use it tons! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2490719 Thu, 10 Mar 2016 15:43:36 +0000 Kimberlybee 2490719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T-Mom: Thanks for replying. I am going to join the spiral vegetables band wagon and get this for me. I need to give up or reduce noodles (my fave) and rice to lose this baby weight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487889 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 17:15:48 +0000 T-Mom 2487889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kimberlybee: I just bought this as a gift so I haven't used it myself but it looks way nicer than my paderno 3 blade. If I didn't have one already i would totally buy it because I like the levers for attaching to the counter and how the blades change more easily. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487496 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 12:59:02 +0000 Kimberlybee 2487496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have this and do you like it? </p> [attach=394/16/o3qfae.325x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487339 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 11:00:30 +0000 Mrs D 2487339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hawksaz: This is the input I have been getting from some friends...spend a little more for the crank!</p> <p>@fancyfunction: ooohhh sounds so yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487330 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:55:50 +0000 Kimberlybee 2487330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fancyfunction: that is such a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487324 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:52:30 +0000 fancyfunction 2487324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to bake the zucchini noodles as a replacement for baked ziti -even M likes it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487323 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:52:22 +0000 hawksaz 2487323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I recently ordered one of the hand-twist spiralizers and I hate it! Argh!! It really hurts my arm and you end up wasting a lot of the veggies because you can't twist them down to the blades without sacrificing your fingers. The crank versions seem to be worth the money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487308 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:44:28 +0000 Mamaof2 2487308@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I let them sit on paper towels to remove some water and I only cook them for maybe 2 mins - just enough to get warm in the pan </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487290 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:32:47 +0000 Smurfette 2487290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: ok, that makes more sense. I will try the colander and see if that helps with the water issue. thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487287 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:30:56 +0000 mrsjazz 2487287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I cook them! Depending on what I'm making I sautee them after that whole process above. But sometimes I just put the warm sauce right over when I want them a bit crunchier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487283 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:28:42 +0000 Smurfette 2487283@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: so you don't actually cook them? Interesting. I will try it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487279 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:25:31 +0000 mrsjazz 2487279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: after you make the zucchini into noodles put them in a colander with kosher salt for about 15 minutes. The salt will pull out some of the water. Then rinse and pat dry with paper towels. It definitely helps but requires a bit more time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487272 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:21:20 +0000 Smurfette 2487272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: how do you do the zucchini noodles? Mine are mushy but still good. but need to work on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487270 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:14:04 +0000 Mrs D 2487270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: awesome thanks for the link...going to check it out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487269 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 10:12:07 +0000 mrsjazz 2487269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Spiralizer! I have the one in the link above. I love inspiralized.com for recipes.</p> <p>I like broccoli stem noodles (these are a little harder to do but yum) and parsnip noodles. </p> <p>I do a lot of zucchini noodles though they get wet/soggier faster so I started experimenting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487252 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 09:53:23 +0000 Mamaof2 2487252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: its awesome for sweet potatoes!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/spiralizer-reviewsopinions#post-2487248 Tue, 08 Mar 2016 09:51:31 +0000 Smurfette 2487248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have this one. So easy to use.

I am hoping to come out of this pregnancy and take much better care of myself. I have been eyeing a spiralizer...specifically the Paderno 3 or 4 blade...</p> <p>Opinions? Reviews? Fav recipes/methods?</p> <p>I found some older threads on this but wanted to refresh opinions! </p>
